Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant – 1 Gallon
Industrial-strength bitumen formula creates a seamless waterproof membrane on flat and metal roofs, foundations, gutters, and more. It provides a durable barrier where other sealants may fail. The formula supports high elongation, maintaining adhesion during building movement and temperature shifts. It resists cracking, peeling, and UV damage, delivering a flexible, long-lasting rubberized coating suitable for roof repair and preventative maintenance. Coverage on flat/low-slope surfaces is roughly 15 sq ft per gallon with 3–4 heavy coats to reach 60–80 mils; foundations may see about 30 sq ft per gallon with 2–3 coats for a 30 mil membrane. Application via brush, roller, or spray is possible, depending on surface and equipment.
Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant – 2.5 Gallon
Same industrial bitumen formula and exceptional elasticity as the 1-gallon version, designed for larger projects. It forms a flexible, durable membrane that resists weathering, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. The product remains effective on metal surfaces and is suitable for both roof repairs and preventative maintenance. Coverage is similar on flat surfaces but scaled for larger volumes: approximately 15 sq ft per gallon with heavy coats for flat surfaces, and about 30 sq ft per gallon on vertical foundations, with the recommended number of coats to achieve a protective membrane.
Permatex 25909 Liquid Metal Filler, 3.5 oz.
This two-part epoxy metal repair putty is designed for metal, wood, and concrete, with excellent adhesion to galvanized metal. It repairs cracks and porosity leaks in cast metal parts and fills small holes and perforations. It can function as a cold-weld-like fix, setting at room temperature and offering good abrasion resistance. The putty is suitable for metal-to-metal repairs and is often used on vehicles, tools, tanks, pipes, and other metal surfaces where a durable seal or fill is needed. Limitations include curing time, surface preparation, and the need for mixing ratio accuracy to achieve full strength.
Flex Seal Epoxy, Extreme Liquid
Extremely strong, high-adhesion epoxy liquid sealant designed for automotive, marine, and home uses. It cures to a durable, watertight layer capable of withstanding up to 550°F when fully cured and resists impact, chemicals, and fuels. The 0.85 oz syringe format allows controlled application for small repairs, including metal seams and leaks. It is suitable for metal, plastic, and other common substrates where a tough, permanent seal is required.
Metal Glue Heavy Duty Waterproof (WXYCRUEYE)
The product is a two-part, heavy-duty epoxy metal putty that cures at room temperature and forms a robust “liquid weld” for metal-to-metal repairs. It serves as a general-purpose metal adhesive for repairing boats, engines, tanks, pipes, and cracked metal components. The putty promises good abrasion, vibration, and chemical resistance, plus the versatility of repairing diverse materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and plastics. It is particularly useful where traditional welding is challenging or not feasible.
Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant – 5 Gallon
The 5-gallon variant extends the same durable, flexible membrane formula for large-scale metal projects and roofing systems. Its bitumen-based composition yields an enduring waterproof coating with high elongation to accommodate structural movement. Application remains brush, roll, or spray compatible, and the lower surface tension supports adherence on metal, concrete, and other substrates. It is especially suitable for commercial or residential installations requiring extensive coverage and long-term protection.
Flex Seal Liquid — Rubber Coating Sealant
Liquid rubber in a can, suitable for sealing out water and moisture on metal, roofs, basements, RVs, and other surfaces. It goes on smoothly and forms a flexible, rubberized coating that remains breathable yet watertight. It’s designed for rapid coverage and is amenable to brush, roll, dip, or pour applications, making it a versatile option for quick metal repairs and protective coatings.
Liquid Rubber MetalSafe Sealant – 5 Gallon
Specialized corrosion-protection membrane for metal roofs and outdoor metal surfaces. The MetalSafe formula is fast-drying and UV-stable, delivering a durable waterproof layer that can be applied over lightly rusted areas. It supports brush or roller application and may be sprayed with heavy-duty sprayers appropriate for this material. The 5-gallon size is suited for larger projects where long-term metal protection is essential.
Buying Guide: Key Purchase Considerations
- Substrate compatibility: Metal surfaces vary (bare metal, rusty areas, painted metal). Look for products rated for metal and, if needed, rust-tolerant formulations.
- Elasticity and movement: Roofing and structural movement require high elongation (over 900% in some Liquid Rubber products) to prevent cracking and maintain adhesion.
- UV stability: Outdoor metal exposure necessitates UV-resistant coatings to minimize degradation and color changes.
- Application method: Brushes, rollers, and spray options affect project speed and finish. Ensure you have appropriate equipment for the chosen product.
- Cure time and safety: Some products cure quickly but require ventilation. Check handling instructions and any odor or safety guidelines.
- Single-component vs. two-part: Epoxy and “liquid weld” products may require mixing; consider convenience vs. performance for your application.
- Coverage and coat thickness: Heavy coats deliver stronger membranes but require more product. Plan for multiple coats to reach the target thickness.
- Environmental conditions: Temperature, humidity, and surface preparation influence adhesion and cure rates. Follow manufacturer prep steps for best results.
- Long-term durability: UV exposure, chemical resistance, and temperature extremes determine the lifespan of the sealant on metal surfaces.
